The files include applications for operator certificates, applications for renewals of operator certificates, actions of certification board, and test results. Information includes the operator's name, address, telephone number, Social Security Identification number, employer, job title, operator's other trade certificates or licenses, references, education record, and employment history.

A three year retention for all other records is consistent with the retention for a similar program in the Division of Drinking Water.
